Barcelona lost Neymar to PSG last month for a world-record fee of £200million.
Many were surprised at the decision, with Manchester United also being heavily tipped to snare the Brazil international away from the Nou Camp.
But Spanish outlet Diario Gol hints Neymar may have deliberately signed for PSG in order to broker a move to Real Madrid further down the line.
It is said the Brazil international wants to play for Real Madrid, who he nearly joined during his time back in his homeland at Santos.
Barcelona would never sell to their fierce rivals, having infamously lost Luis Figo in 2000 in a transfer that prompted much anger in Catalonia.

And Diario Gol say the reason his contract is being kept closely under wraps is because the player insisted on a clause that would open the door to a Madrid move.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 32, continues to be Los Blancos’ main man but there can be no denying the Portugal international is entering the twilight years of his career.
Real supposedly plan on replacing Ronaldo with 25-year-old Neymar in the future.
And Florentino Perez’s good relationship with PSG chief Nasser Al Khelaifi could help negotiations.
However, if they really want the Brazil international, they will have to break the bank.
In France there are no termination clauses – something Barcelona no doubt wish was the same in Spain.
PSG could demand more than the £200m they paid this summer.
And that would see him make history again – becoming the first player to be crowned the world’s most-expensive player consecutive times.
